Seniors Program

The Dumas Wesley Seniors Program provides senior citizens age 60 and over with dependable transportation to medical appointments and with activities through a daily Seniors Assisted In Living (S.A.I.L.) program.

Transportation: The purpose of the program is to provide seniors with dependable transportation to their doctors, hospitals and other health facilities. There is no set fee, but donations are accepted.Seventy percent of those served live alone and are dependent upon Dumas Wesley for this much needed service. Transportation is also provided to Dumas Wesley's S.A.I.L. program daily, and helps transport meals to homebound seniors living in the Crichton and Toulminville areas.

Senior Activities for Independent Living (S.A.I.L.) provides daily activities Monday through Friday for an average of 61 seniors daily. A hot, nutritious meal is served to 45 seniors at the center and in addition, meals are transported to 16 homebound seniors. Participants may join in a variety of activities, including games, sing-alongs, nutrition education, speakers, health checks as well as computer classes. Participants are provided with transportation to and from Dumas Wesley. The seniors enjoy various field trips to the Exploreum, Bellingrath Gardens and the Annual SAIL Picnic held at the Fairgrounds.
